Geriatric Orthopedics
Geriatric Orthopedics Care by Dr. Harsha G N
Geriatric orthopedics focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions affecting older adults. Age-related changes such as osteoporosis, arthritis, reduced bone density, and muscle weakness increase the risk of fractures, joint pain, and mobility issues, requiring specialized and compassionate orthopedic care.
Treatment in geriatric orthopedics is tailored to the patient’s overall health, functional needs, and lifestyle. A multidisciplinary approach involving medical management, surgical intervention when required, and rehabilitation ensures pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced independence.
When to Consult a Geriatric Orthopedic Specialist
- Persistent joint pain, stiffness, or difficulty in movement
- Falls or fractures, especially hip, wrist, or spine fractures
- Reduced mobility, balance issues, or fear of falling
- Degenerative joint conditions affecting daily activities
Advantages of Geriatric Orthopedic Care
- Improved pain control and joint function
- Reduced risk of complications through age-specific care
- Enhanced mobility and independence in daily life
- Comprehensive care focused on safety and quality of life
Rehabilitation and preventive care play a vital role in geriatric orthopedics. Personalized physiotherapy, fall prevention strategies, and regular follow-up help maintain mobility, prevent future injuries, and support healthy aging with confidence and comfort.

My first operation ever (hopefully the last). The experience in the Operation Theatre was mind blowing. DK sir, all docs, and supporting staff were extremely cool right from the time I got into the Operation Theatre. I had to get my Ankle operated (2 fractures). I felt I was in safe hands throughout.

We have known Dr.Harsha for 2 years now. Had consulted him for my mother in law arthritis treatment. Recently visited him for my mother in law’s arm fracture. He provided us with the best course of treatment considering all the other health factors. Always seen him as a very humble person, provides knowledgable care and takes time to address all our doubts and fears. Good doctors like Dr.Harsha replace the fear of illness with trust in recovery. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good orthopaedic advice and treatment. I am really grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well being.

Surgery was performed under the care of Dr. Harsha and his dedicated team. The surgery was successful and I am delighted to share that I have fully regained the functionality of my hand, restoring it to its original state. I am exceptionally pleased with the exceptional treatment I received.
